Why John baptized Jesus
Actually John deny to baptized Jesus, but Jesus said to John : Let it be so now: because so it is right for us to make righteousness complete. ''Matt 3:15'' Then he gave him baptism. Cause Jesus want to give a sample for us that we have to lower ourselves before the Lord by giving ourlive to be baptized. Baptized the symbol that will show that there is a peace between us and the God. Also Jesus is 100% man and 100% God, so every people if they want to get closer to the Lord, repent for their sins, then they must give their self to be baptized.

Although Jesus had never sinned He lived as a man before all started, he had to be baptized as an initiation for everything to come. His soul was filled with sacrifice and the spirit of God. Let`s not forget He came to die for our sins and when everything started he was a clean new soul, the one that was going to die in the cross and took the sin of the man with Him. Thank you Jesus!!

If John`s baptism was for repentance, then why do you think Jesus was baptized?
Yes, John was for repentance for forgiveness of sins and he was preparing the way for the messiah to fulfil what was prophesied in the old testamement. Jesus was batised because He took the sinful nature of man so that He also can be forgiven. Jesus was even preparing Himself for Satan temptation in the wilderness. The other reason was to let us know that God is three in one ''TRINITY''. This is why we learn that the Spirit of God decended like a dove and the voice was heard saying this is my begon son in Him AM pleased. Jesus also was leting people believe what John was preaching about. Jesus `s baptism is by the Holy Spirit. AMEN!!!!

John the Baptist Prepares the Way

The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the prophets,
"Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.
The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
'Make ready the way of the Lord!
Make his paths straight!'"
John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins. John was clothed with camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey. He preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen. I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit."

Mark 1:1-8
